Technology
is
advancing
at
a
rapid
pace
and
changing
us
in
so
many
ways.
The
possibilities
are
endless
and
it
is
invigorating!
The
evolution
of
robots,
nanocomputers
and
genetic
engineering
is
only
a
first
step—we
can
only
imagine
what
the
future
holds.

When
my
family
first
moved
to
the
United
States
from
Italy,
my
mother
expressed
her
utter
contempt
for
Mister
Potato
Head,
a
toy
that
I
swiftly
learned
is
beloved
among
many
American
children.
She
found
Mr.
Potato
Head
inane
and
essentially
refused
to
let
him
into

Yes,
many
companies
are
still
afraid
of
employees
throughout
the
ranks
speaking
on
behalf
of
or
even
about
the
organization.
They
feel
that
this
should
be
the
sole
purview
of
the
PR/Comms
departments.
Much
of
the
resistance
might
come
from
those
departments
themselves,
afraid
of
other

I
am
in
Vancouver,
Canada
–
that
gorgeous
gem
of
a
city
nestled
on
the
water
and
in
the
shadow
of
some
rather
spectacular
mountains.
There
is
something
nearly
spellbinding
about
this
clean,
efficient
northern
city,
something
in
the
air
that
seems
to
say,
“slow
down

fun
along
the
way.

As
Ed Brill shared last month,
there
is
a
secret
to
IBM's
social
business
transformation,
and
that
secret
is
business
outcomes.
Proving
the
ROI
of
social
channels
is
difficult.
In
that
regard,
enterprise
social
environments
are
no
different
than
Twitter
and
Facebook.
Decision
makers
want
to
know
how
these
tools
add
value
to

How
do
you
re-imagine
something
that
almost
everybody
has
been
using
for
years
and
years?
You
start
with
a
great
design
process,
which
in
turn
leads
to
a
great
design.
At
IBM
this
process
is
called
Design Thinking,
and
it
led
to
the
insights
that
allowed

It
is
interesting
to
think
about
what
the
future
of
the
workplace
will
be
like
20
years
from
now.
We
live
in
such
a
fast
paced,
high
tech,
collaborative
environment
now,
can
you
imagine
how
advanced
we
will
be
even

from

As
I
mentioned
in
my
4.74
Degrees
kickoff
post,
I’m
setting
out
to
prove
how
powerful
social
business
is
when
it
comes
to
sustaining
personal
and
professional
relationships
by
asking
a
randomly
selected
IBMer
to
describe
the
single
most
interesting
/
influential
/
important
person
they’ve
met
through
IBM
Connections.
